The North Sea is set to be the heart of large-scale offshore renewable development in Europe. While renewable energy offers a bright, clean future, gaps remain in ensuring that development does not come at the expense of biodiversity.

On the eve of World Rewilding Day, join us for a film screening of North Sea: Nature Untamed, where we’ll explore the wild beauty and hidden wonders of the North Sea through the eyes of experienced diver and underwater cameraman, Peter van Rodijnen. Stick around after the film, where we’ll dive into an expert discussion on how European countries can develop offshore wind farms in harmony with nature. From the rugged Scottish islands to the tranquil delta of the Low Countries and the majestic Norwegian fjords, this cinematic journey highlights the vibrant biodiversity of the North Sea.
